Damn, that'd be sooooooo fun. Imagine having a completely empty mall to yourself (mall is scheduled for demolition). AWD burnouts on the slick tiles... Drifting inside macy's... Oh man, this reminds me of the episode of Top Gear where the Corvette chases the little compact fiesta (I think it was a fiesta).

Been there....done that....luckily, I didn't get arrested.
My car was a 1977 Dodge aspen wagon, complete with faux wood paneling.
The mall was actually the old Rancho Tropicana resort hotel in Santa Rosa.
Once everything had been auctioned off and the building emptied, a friend and I tore through the dance halls, banquet halls, etc.

I've also done that, but it wasn't a mall scheduled for demolition. We were racing boom lifts and other stuff. That was so much fun.

They should have cut the surveillance.

This is the type of thing that the building owners and authorities are probably thinking, "dude, if you're gonna do that *** we JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW. You left the camera running so now we have to do something. I'd rather be doing something else."

Umm, that was just people mashing the gas and slamming on the brakes on linoleum. THIS is mall racing:

Yeah, my thought process was:
